You Kill Me

This will be a double posting on two blogs, as it fits both themes.

Enjoyed watching the movie You Kill Me tonight. It was cool to see many familiar places from the old country... the movie was shot in Winnipeg.

We identified the train station, the Forks, McGregor Street, Chinatown, Adecco, The Round Table Restaurant, Bailey's Restaurant (we think), the Exchange District, some City of Winnipeg snow clearing equipment, and a couple of Manitoba license plates.

The best parts of course, were the airport scenes. At the beginning, on the way from BUF to SFO, Frank is sitting near (I believe) the play structure. Later, when he's going back to BUF, he's dropped off at the AC end of the terminal... you can see the skywalk behind them. The scene in the security line also (sort of) showed the Exchange Restaurant, the Virgin Books and Music store, and the post-security Relay store. I also liked the "Airport Security" uniforms.

Luciano Borsato et al

A few loose ends from the visit to Clarkson University...

Former Winnipeg Jet Luciano Borsato played 4 years for Clarkson. His no. 38 Jets jersey is on display in the arena's foyer area, plus he's on display in the All-American section, and the section devoted to Clarkson players who made the NHL.

On the drive back from Potsdam, I told the boys that I'd look up what all the chants were that the fans were doing at the game. Wouldn't you know a great web site exists covering that information? Check out http://www.bonesaw.org/, and in particular this page, which has the chants.

And finally, a couple of links to videos showing the atmosphere at a game. Again, should have taken my camera to get the full Bonesaw action...

Back from Potsdam

I wish I had taken my camera in order to photographically document the
college game experience tonight. Had a good time with Walt, Pete and
Bob.

The game ended 1-0, believe it or not. Colgate had some great chances
to score but could not tie it up. They will go at it again tomorrow
night. Same time, same rink, same pep band.

Can't believe that in all the years in Winnipeg, and all the trips to
Grand Forks, never once went to a Fighting Sioux game.

Still 1-0 Clarkson after 2

They do a very good job of acknowledging their history here. Too bad
it's not quite a full house. But sitting next to the student section
is fun.

Let's Go Tech!

Not sure why they yell that for Clarkson University.

1-0 Clarkson after 1

"It's all your fault! Sieve! It's all your fault! Sieve!" They yell at the goalie after Clarkson scores. At least, that's what I think they were yelling. Next time I see JFK, the band trumpeter, I'll ask him.

Potsdam

I'm currently in Potsdam, NY. We thought about popping in for dinner
in Canton, NY, but instead we came to Eben's Hearth in Potsdam. Game
time is 7:00 for Clarkson vs. Colgate.

DFW Art

All from Terminal D at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

First, some blue glass circles. Creatively titled Circling.


One of many terrazzo floor pieces of art. This one uses airport codes, thus it is cool. It's called Destination Game.

And finally, what I call the Fortress of Solitude. But what is really called Crystal Mountain.
